The Stern Grove Festival depends on your donations!
Yeah, It's going to be one hot summer. This is an awesome line-up: soul, R&B, cumbia, Indian music, jazz, Brazilian funk, and more... There's nothing better than a big free dance party in the middle of a gorgeous park. I kinda want to be there every weekend!
Every summer, Stern Grove Festival presents world-class performing arts in one of the country's most beautiful natural settings, completely free of admission. But remember the Stern Grove Festival is a non-profit and depends on your donations to keep it free and up and running year after year! All shows are on Sundays at 2pm.
